Tanana Forest Roads — Tanana Valley State Park

Game Management Unit: 20B

Description

The Tanana Valley State Forest is a favored spot for hunters along the Alaska Highway. Located just an hour drive west from the heart of Fairbanks, hunting and trapping opportunities in the area include black and grizzly bear, moose, wolf, Dall sheep, grouse, wolverine, and caribou.

The silty nature of the road leads to rapid erosion without proper drainages
Replacement of the Fortune Creek Bridge is one of this project's key features.

Purpose

The existing road system was never intended to sustain the current level of use and has fallen into disrepair. Damage to the road has been further accelerated by runoff eroding the weakened surface. In support of Alaska's hunting heritage, this project seeks to accommodate the increase in use by replacing Fortune Creek Bridge as well as repairing and hardening 10 miles of Cache Creek Road. This improved access will benefit hunters as well as other recreation groups in the Tanana Valley State Forest.
